Selected reviews for this venue:

Parking is disgusting. well be amazing when the tube is 24/7 as do not park in the excel for a big event like this but you may have no choice if the card runs late so you taking a risk

Championship Boxing Chisora v Fury(01/12/14) - Saunders vs Eubank

Only giving 5 out of 5 as the main event (Saunders vs. Eubank) was so could. Amazing atmosphere we need at least two events like this a year.
Bad points Frank packed the card and all went the 12 rounds meaning Saunders vs. Eubank didnt start till after 11 (was meant to be 9:30) and Fury vs Chisora started way past 12 by that time I had left as after the saunders fight had no energy. Unfortunately the excel is not a venue for this kind of event logistically wise (thought inside was great) and was stuck in the car park for over two hours. Added to the fact everyone missed the last trains because of the late card the roads were blocked.
That put a damper on the evening but Saunders vs Eubank event was great and cant wait for the rematch one day
